Here’s a quick explanation of how a solar cell works. If you want to know more we recommend this link: https://www.itsmysun.com/faqs/what-is-a-solar-pv-system-and-how-does-it-work/
A solar cell consists of two thin layers of semi-conducting materials, usually silicon, that have been ‘doped’ with specific chemicals Sunlight shining on the solar cell knocks electrons from the orbits of the doped semi-conductor in sufficient numbers to generate a direct current (DC).
